All the Year Round.

King George H. was tho last OF the monarchs
who made fixed residence at Saint Jarnes's palace.
1t was his queen, Caroline, who. being q stirring
kind of woman, planned all sorts of improvements
about the royal parks and palaces; among others,
the exclusion OF tho public from all royal Enclosures
She asked of the prime minister what would DO the
cost of this last arrangement
"Only n crown, madam" replied the polite man;
and the queen took warning, and stayed lie rhand.

Wichita Eagle: Topeka following
the lead of st. Joe and other towns,
proposes through its Board of Trade
and from its real estate dealers TO raise
n fund To advertise Topeka in the St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
Such schemes are vast of money,
benefting principally the papers hand
ling the advertisement. The average
American citizen, at least that class
which make towns boom with their
money, know blow when they see it.
Notoriety is desirable for a town, but
not the notoriety of patent medicine.
The best advertisement or notoriely
which can come to any town is that
which comes through its natural advan-
tages as set forth through its own pa
pers. and then it must not be an adver-
tisement, per sc, for the purpose of
catching anybody. y very good way to
make the local paper of such charac-
ter that not only real estate men, but
that everybody else will send copies to
friends east. If John Smith living
down in Maine gets paper from his
friend Jim Jones living in Topeka.
Smith reads that paDer because he is
interested in Jones, not that he cares
a continental for Topeka itself. If
Jones don't happen to live in Topeka, or
if ToDeka's real estate and business
men and average citizens are not of the
Jones stripe, then Smith will never be
coaxed away from home by any full
page pamphlet edition lies that can or
might be published.

A peserved Endorsement.

From the columns of the Hiawatha
World we clip the following testimoni-
al TO one Of the most successful and
praiseworthy institutions of the state,
and take pleasure in adding our COM
mendatiOn to theirs:
The Kansas Mutual Life association
OF this city is one of the most popular
and reliable insurance companies in
the state of Kansas. and 1t has accom-
plished more in elevating and direct
ing public opinion on the subject of in
surance than any other company in
Kansas. The natural premium plan
has the endorsement and approval of
the most enlightened insurance men in
the United States. 1t is time-tried,
and its march has ever been in the line
of advanced thought toward the post
of equity, cheapnesS and perpetuity.
NumberlesS cooperative companies
organized and dong business prior TO
the laws of 1885, relating to life insur-
ance, nave faded away, and the man.
ayers and officers of these have, like
the Arab, quietly folded their tents
! and silently stole away" But a new
era has come for the people of this
state. The legislature of the state in
1885 and 1856 manfully and dispite the
maledictiOnS of insurance sharks and
their hackers and accomplices passed a
law winch is benefit to the people of
the state and protection 10 and aid to
legitimate insurance. The Kansas
Mutual Life association has complied
both in spirit aud letter with that law.
and is one Of the few companies legally
entitled to do business. The literature
of the company. which we have had
the pleasure of perusing is neat, well
worded and ''chuck full' of informa-
ton. Certificate of membership is a
very beautiful and artistic specimen
of printers art. 1t emhodies a plain,
straightforward contract. While con-
tanning all that is necessary and requi-
site 1t is free from all technicalities
conditions and obligations so peTplex-
ing and unsatisfactory to the insured
Hon. J. Z. Davis, president of this
association, is we'll versed in the sci
ence of life insurance. When we say
that he is an energetic, honorable, hon.
est man, we are simply vOicing the sen.
timents OF his many acquaintences and
friends. He has guided the course OF
the Kansas Mutual Life with bright
intellect and an answering vigilance
aided by John f. Moon, the efficient
secretary, one of the best accountant:
and thoroughly posted in insurance. II
Is owing TO their energy, business taci
and Shrewdness that this company oc
cupies the enviable position it does to
day, amOung the reliable representa-
tive companies OF the United States
Every one connected with the Kansa:
Mutual is well and favorably known il
Kansas. We predict for the Kansa:
Mutual glorious future. and feel con
fident that their enviable position vii
always be proudly maintained. The
World is pleased to see companies like
the Kansas Mutual throw down thu
gauntlet to eastern companies. and Of
\ fer fair battle in Kansas on the FIELD
of competition. Success attend it.

In tho city election this year. the IN
DEx editors and proprietors used their
influence for the Citizens ticket, and a
majority of that ticket was elected, in
Guiding Judge Edwards, for mayor, w.
ii. McCague, for police judge, and
Messrs. Thompson, Freeman and Sim
mons for councimen. For Supporting
the successful ticket. the INDEX has
been frequently rebuked by men who
should be its friends, and we have even
lost the patronage of a few kickers
Following the precept of Davy Crock
EFT we were sure we were right before
going ahead, and have an idea that the
best citizens Of Medicine Lodge are sat
isiied with the course of the INDEX.
Certainly, the successful candidates
should be. and IL they are, there is a
way In which they can show their APP
probation, to-wit: BY continuing the

In Chicago representatives from the
stone cutters, carpenters, painters,
plasterers, derrickmen, bod carriers,
steam filters, fathers, gas filters, gal
vanized iron and cornice men, stair
builders and slaterS' unions met Sun
day and organized the Amalgamated
Building Trade Council, and a consti-
tuition was adopted. The permanent
organization will be effected next Sun
day. An attempt will be made to
bring in the bricklayers, plumbers and
other unions. The council will repre-
sent 10000 men and a general strike
will be ordered in every instance where
strik in single shop cannot be won
without doing SO.

The secretary of the Kansas board Of
agriculture, under date of April 8, fur
nishes the following Reports received
at this Office within the last ten DAYS
from about six hundred correspond
ents, representing every section of the
state, show rain to- be needed, but indi-
cate wheat and rye to be in good cOndi-
ton. The area sown to wheat will fall
from ten to twentysper cent. below the
crop last year and will no doubt prove
the smallest average for ten years.
The plant is small, but the winter hay
ing been favorable is found to be in
good condition and with favorable
weather from this date will certainly
make good crop. Live stock is in
good condition, never better. The out
lood for crop of fruit is very hatter-
ing, except peaches, which may be con-
sidered failure, yet some will be
grown in the southern part of the state.

THE PROHJRITORY LAW

The point has been raised In several
places lately that the amended prohibit
tory law only drew the coils tighter
around druggists, and that there was
now no law prohibiting the sale of liq-
uOrs by any one but druggists with per-
mits. The editor of the Wellington
Standard asked the legal opinion of
Judge Mcdonald, a prominent attOr-
ney Of Wellington, and, after mention
ing ms ayerseness to rushing into
PRINT" he gives the following as his
opinion:
First, the Murray law" as I under
stand 1t, does not affect the general
prohibition law at all except as 10
druggists and manufacturers and pur-
chasers therefrOm. 1t does not annul
or repeal original section one o. OF the
act of 1881, nor sections seven l7) and
eight Isl thereof as amended by Sec
lions four a. and i've l5) of the act OF
1885, which sections declare ana define
the OfIense and prescribe the penalty
That is to say, section one declares the
manu- tactuTe and sale of Intoxicating
liquors TO be a misdemeanOr, except.
Tor the purposes therein named, and
under the regulations and restrictions
provided in said act; while sections
seven (7) and eight lSl as amended, as
aforesaid. prescribe the penalty for I'M
lawful sale or manufacture. The Muir
ray law merely prescribes new regula-
lions and penalties for druggists, and
manufactures. and persons purchasing
therefrOm; and does not. as it seems
is supposed by some, clear the way foI
The unrestricted sale OF intoxicants. -

Kansas City Star: Senator Vest
may be said to be a Cleveland man.
At any rate he has the political sagac-
ity to recognize the presidential eitua-
ton. In an interview in Washington
no is reported as saying: To- day
Cleveland can defeat any man in the
Union for the presidency. The people
at large know that he is honest and
fearless in the discharge Of his duty.
lie works harder than any subordinate
under HIM, and he wants others to do
their work also That is fair state
ment of the attitude which President
Cleveland occupies in the nation to-day.
Many Of the politicians of the demo-
cratic PARTY may not wish Cleveland.
He has not been partisan enough for
them, but the masses are for him and
the politicians will have to accept him.
They can do nothing else"

The Railway Age in commenting on
the very large mileage of railroad
construction for the first quarter of
1857, says that from january list to
April LIST no less than 1910 miles of new
main track has been laid on forty-nine
different lines in twenty-five states and
territories. This is a larger total than
has been recorded for any previous
year up to the same date, excepting
1882, when the construction for the en-
tire year reached IL ,56s miles. The ar
ticle then says: IF the record OF recent
years forms basis for estimate, the
work of the past three months would
indicate that track laying for the year
1887 will aggregate from s,OC0 to 10000
miles.

Wichita Beacon, April 10: "Hon. t.
A. M'Neal, the editor of the Medicine
Lodge Cresset, was a member of the
last two legislatures. In an opon let
ter, in his own paper, and addressed to
Marsh Murdoch, he acknowledges the
humiliatiDg fact that he was such a
member, which to US, is inexplieible,
and the more so from the fact that Tom
lives IN bright town and represents a
bright people. 1t has even been said,
over and again, that he was the bright
est man of all the men on the floor of
the lower house. But the admission
made in his open letter does violence to
such presumption. After reading
his column letter the conclusion is
forced upon US that our friend Tom
was the author of that poetry appear
ing few days since in these columns.
The bitter Of those stanZas ought to
have satisfied the gall receptacle of any
living man, that of even a member of
the late fool legislature, without his
following it up with full column of
pungent reflections. lie not only again

found recorded in the works of Noah

fence of the men who thrOttled a mil

pie that Wichita don't corral all of the

may be, never again permit yourself to

is well-knOwn fact that a large ma

does not stand alone in the iniquity. as
nearly all the towns in western Kansas
